Head Butler: In a movie about a butler, you can expect a lot of sharp suits and bow ties. But this historical drama also weaves a veritable fashion story, beyond strict dress attire. Cecil Gaines (Forest Whitaker) recounts the important moments observed as a butler in the White House, including some pivotal style secrets that include being gifted one of JFK's ties by Jackie, all the way up to the meeting of the current and super style conscious Obamas.

Carter Wilson (Cuba Gooding Jr.), is a fast-talking friend of Cecil's in The White House, with shining lapels.
